Workshop 2 - Draw it!

In this course, drawing is used as a method of communication to convey the architect's ideas and intentions. For the Bangalay House, Peter Stutchbury focuses on the interaction between the environment and the house, with an emphasis on light and horizontal lines. 

In the following drawings, I have communicated this using watercolour and pencil. The context is included for many of the drawings to situate the house in its immediate, natural environment. Darker, pencil shading is used for all horizontal lines, primarily on the roof for emphasis. 

Although the colour pallet is quite muted, the materials used in the house are still communicated. 

Black and white watercolour has been used for the sections to give depth to each of the rooms.

It is a good idea to "ground" drawings to help situate the building. This avoids having structures looking like they are floating in space.
